The present invention relates to a method for determining at least one parameter of samples of physiological liquids, to test devices which may be used in the method, to a holder comprising a plurality of such test devices, and to a measuring apparatus adapted to accommodate the holder and to be used in the method and to a system comprising the apparatus and the holder.
Claims6
A method for determining at least one parameter of at least one sample of a physiological liquid, the method comprising the steps of:
- arranging a plurality of test devices in a holder, wherein each test device comprises a substantially sealed housing having a sample inlet port for entrance of the sample into the housing of the test device, and the housing comprising at least one measuring chamber adapted for measurement of the at least one parameter of the sample and an extending member positioned at the sample inlet port, the extending member having a surface that retains the physiological liquid, if spilled, on the extending member;
- loading, to the at least one test device, the sample of the physiological liquid;
- determining the at least one parameter of the sample loaded;
- and
- discarding the holder with the at least one test device, retained in the holder wherein the at least one test device is substantially separated from the ambience.
